Tino Libaak and Gonzalo Alfonso beat Francisco Guerrero and Javier Leal 3-6, 7-6, 7-5 in the round of 32 at the Germany P2 in Dusseldorf on Wednesday. Hours later they found out they are both going to Doha: Argentina's padel federation named them to its squad for the FIP World Cup.

## A repeat upset

This was not the first time Libaak and Alfonso had beaten Guerrero and Leal this month. The unseeded Argentine pair had already knocked out the seventh seeds days earlier at the Rotterdam P2, right after Guerrero and Leal had won the FIP Platinum title in Lyon. Facing them again in Germany, Libaak and Alfonso dropped the first set, needed a tie-break to level it, then closed out the decider 7-5. It is their second win over that pair in the space of a week, a result that will not go unnoticed given how form the past month has gone.

## The call comes at the right time

Argentina's squad for the FIP World Cup, set for November 2 to 7 at the Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex in Doha, brings back most of the team that won the title in 2024: Agustin Tapia, Federico Chingotto, Leo Augsburger, Martin Di Nenno and Franco Stupaczuk all return. Libaak is one of them, defending the title he already won with the national team two years ago. Alfonso is the new face, earning his first senior call-up alongside fellow newcomer Maxi Arce. Sanyo Gutierrez, Alex Chozas and Juan Tello all missed out this time.

## What's next

Libaak and Alfonso move into the round of 16 in Dusseldorf, where they face Jose Solano and Rama Pereyra, who beat Victor Tur and Agustin Reca 6-1, 6-3 to get there. A third meeting with Guerrero and Leal is now off the table for this event, since Solano and Pereyra are the ones standing in the way instead.

Argentina will defend its men's crown in Doha as the two-time defending champion, chasing a 13th world title overall for the country.
